Tauck Civil War Tour
Tauck Civil War Tour
"A new birth of freedom"... Understanding the story of the Civil War is paramount to understanding who we are as Americans. This journey takes you to pivotal places, hallowed ground where the conflict was not only fought, but shaped... to inspire, educate, and help put the war, and the American experience itself, into context. Far beyond the battlefields, we've sought out places that tell stories... stories that are personal in nature, but are also woven into the larger narrative of America's most tragic conflict - one which, after four dire and costly years of struggle, ultimately decided who we are as a nation... truly, the United States of America.
